The beginning of the episode with the souls flying out reminded me of this:

Spoiler for DTB unrelated:

The episode itself... Well, I can't really say I found it interesting, and it didn't help my already low enthusiasm that everything led to that season 2, which was pretty... that...
Well, I guess it is nice Sawanaga is having a good life.

Well this pretty much played out how we all guessed going by the events we've seen in the second series, though it was still pretty damn heavy to watch. A huge part of me right there wished Yin wouldn't awaken and the two would go back to living together. But yeah, i knew it was impossible.

Seeing the beginning of hobo drinking Hei was a nice though, plus the last few scenes do a grand job of setting up the second series.

It's been a great ride i have to say, and it's a shame that even the first episode of this was much better then the whole of the second series in total . Apart from the third episode which felt like it lasted about 4 minutes, it's been a pretty solid package, and one i'm glad was released in the end.

Hei really never gets that happy ending he obviously craves. But at least the OVAs cheered up all the Yin shippers!

Spoiler for Hei:

I wouldn't necessarily say Hei didn't get a good end. Izanami(or whoever Yin was talking to at the end) said that when the time came it'd grant Yin's wish. Whether that wish was to be with Hei or not, I'd think it'd include some form of happiness for Hei.

So, did it give us ANY information on what happened at the end of S2? I suppose it is possible the translation (God Speed Subs) was faulty but I didn't think that this OAD clarified anything about Izanami/Izanagi/Shion/The AntiChrist, aka coffin kid, aka Kagu-Tsuchi. Still, it was nice to see Hei in action.

Well it did reveal/confirm that Izanami was collecting the souls of contractors, dolls, etc, to transport them to a new world where they could live freely. As for what was revealed about Izanami, not much indeed. We can say Shion worked to create the new world for the sake of Suou, but it's unclear what Izanami's motivations were. Thinking on it, I'd say it's appropriate to call Kaga-Tsuchi the anti-christ. Izanami sort of played the role of Jesus by saving the souls of those contractors,dolls, humans, and just left behind a child who's destined to destroy the earth. However, it didn't seem like the apocalypse was brought about giving Misaki's monologue at the end.

At least the OVA series helped me understand the 2nd season better, even by a little bit. The second season was immensely confusing for me, and it was ultimately unsatisfying. The only thing that buoyed my interest was the presence of Suou. : (

Wow, that would honestly make sense but that would have never crossed my mind if you hadn't brought it up. I thought the last few minutes of the OVA were good for tying some of the loose ends together but I still didn't feel quite satisfied, felt like we had a missing expo-dump or something.

Well, I'm still in the dark XD
Maybe Izanami wasn't any sort of entity, just an other side of Yin; Izanami and Izanagi were just a Doll and a Contractor with enough power to change the world.
Shion's desire was create a place where his sister could be happy. And Yin wish was to live with Hei "forever". Thus, or Kaga-Tuchi is a new being where Yin and Hei dwell inside, or maybe Shion create some sort of place where they could stay together.
Or maybe Yiin is dead, Hei is wandering carrying a corpse and Kaga-Tsuchi is a demon child destroying the world XD

I loved this episode. Sure, we already knew exactly what was going to happen, but it was still nice to see those events animated. These OVAs made up for the lack of Yin and electric batman Hei in the second season.

I'm a bit confused about one thing though: Golgo said the syndicate was founded 50 years ago to prevent the events prophesized in the Mikata documents from coming true. Where did those documents come from? Why did they even believe those prophecies?
